Abstract

A CPU cooling structure includes a heat sink and an axial flow fan adapted to dissipate heat from the CPU of the motherboard in a computer, the heat sink having a hollow center shaft filled up with a heat transfer fluid and a plurality of radiation fins equiangularly radially arranged around the periphery of the center shaft and curved in direction corresponding or reversed to the direction of rotation of the fan blade and hub assembly of the axial flow fan.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a CPU cooling structure adapted to lower the temperature of the CPU of a computer during its operation and, more particularly, to such a CPU cooling structure, which enables induced currents of air to pass toward the CPU and the surrounding electronic component parts to quickly dissipate heat from the CPU and the surrounding electronic component parts. [0001]
  • Advanced CPUs (central processing units) provide a high operational speed, and simultaneously produce a high temperature during its operation. In order to keep the CPU of the motherboard to function normally, a CPU cooling structure is needed. High performance and low manufacturing cost are important factors in designing a CPU cooling structure. FIG. 13 shows a heat sink for use with a fan in a computer to dissipate heat from the CPU. This structure of heat sink A comprises a flat base A[0002] 1 and a plurality of upright radiation fins A11 arranged in parallel on the top side of the flat base A1. When used with an axial flow fan, the axial flow of air induced by the axial flow fan is stopped by the flat base A1 of the heat sink A and forced sideways, i.e., the axial flow of air does not pass to the CPU and the surrounding electronic component parts. Due to this problem, the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat sink A is low.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention has been accomplished to provide a CPU cooling structure, which eliminates the aforesaid drawbacks. According to one aspect of the present invention, the CPU cooling structure comprises a heat sink and an axial flow fan. The heat sink has a center shaft disposed in contact with the CPU to be cooled down and a plurality of radiation fins equiangularly radially arranged around the periphery of the center shaft. The radiation fins may be curved in direction corresponding or reversed to the direction of rotation of the fan blade and hub assembly of the axial flow fan. During operation, the induced axial flow of air passes through the gaps in between the radiation fins of the heat sink toward the CPU and the surrounding electronic component parts to dissipate heat from the CPU and the surrounding electronic component parts. According to another aspect of the present invention, the center shaft of the heat sink can be made having a hollow structure filled with a heat transfer fluid for quick transfer of heat from the CPU to the radiation fins.[0003]
